Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.
It is good you are getting yourself investigated for medical illness, but same time it is better to start treatment for anxiety and panic. As you are having anxiety attack in night, then there is need to rule out seizures, considering past history of
epilepsy.
Anxiety and panic disorders can manifest not only with psychological symptoms but with a variety of physical symptoms also like:
Tingling, numbness, hot and cold sensations,
palpitation,
chest pain, choking sensation, tremors (shakiness) etc.
It is better to get evaluated by
psychiatrist and start treatment accordingly. For long term control of anxiety following measures are helpful: relaxation exercise, medicines like SSRIs and non drug treatment like CBT.
Wish you good health and all the best.
Regards,
Dr Ashish Kumar Mittal
